hey, that's me :P as you can see, it's a very simple script. I'm not
completely sure that it works exactly as I expect, and I am not even
sure that what I expect for "verification" is what everyone would.

I'd like to do some unit tests about the code, but it is quite
hard/boring to do that. Any contribution about better code, better
testing, etc will be really appreciated. Actually, I was very surprised
to not being able to find some script similar to what I wrote.

Seems a really good point, but... can't you just recursively run git-verify?

I am really interested, thanks for sharing!
